A_, WARNING:
To ensure safety and reliability,
all repairs should
be performed
by a qualified
service technician
at a Sears Service Center.
A_, WARNING:
For your safety, always turn off the switch and unplug the
reciprocating
saw from the power source before performing
any maintenance
or
cleaning.
Periodic maintenance
of your reciprocating
saw allows for long life and trouble-
free operation.
The saw can generate
considerable
quantities
of cutting
residue.
A cleaning and maintenance
schedule
should
be maintained.
As a common-sense
and preventive
maintenance
practice,
follow these
recommended
steps:
•
Inspect the blade; check it for wear or damage.
Keep the ventilation
slots of the motor clean to prevent overheating
of the
motor. Electric tools are subject
to accelerated
wear and possible
premature
failure when they are used to work on fiberglass,
wallboard,
spackling
compounds
or plaster. The chips and grindings
from these materials
are highly abrasive to electrical
tool parts, such as bearings,
brushes,
commutators,
etc. Consequently,
it is not recommended
that this tool be
used for extended
work on any fiberglass
material, wallboard,
spackling
compound,
or plaster. During any use on these materials,
it is extremely
important
that the tool is cleaned frequently
by blowing
with an air jet.
•
Use a soft clean and damp cloth to wipe the tool housing. A mild detergent
can be used, but use nothing
like alcohol,
gasoline or other cleaning
agents.
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
A_, WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shields
during power tool operations
or when blowing dust. If operation
is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
,_, WARNING:
When changing
a blade immediately
after operation,
allow the
blade to cool before removing
it to avoid possible
burning.
_h, WARNING:
Keep the air vents unclogged
and clean at all times.
_,
WARNING:
Avoid using solvents when cleaning
plastic parts. Most plastics
are susceptible
to damage from various types of commercial
solvents
and may
be damaged
by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
A_, WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluid, gasoline,
petroleum-based
products,
penetrating
oils, etc. to come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals
can damage,
weaken
or destroy
plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
_,
WARNING: Water must never come into the tool.
